Enforcement Procedures
A. The authority to require public sector organizations to provide accessible websites is derived from three key pieces of legislation, including:
-
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) “prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities by public entities, including public education systems and institutions, regardless of whether they receive Federal financial assistance from the Department.”
-
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) “prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
-
Section 508 of the Amended Rehabilitation Act of 1998 (Section 508) applies primarily to federal agencies (but other public entities have adopted the requirements into their own laws) ensuring they “give disabled employees and members of the public access to information comparable to the access available to others.”
B. All 15 U.S. federal executive departments have the authority to investigate and pursue penalties for accessibility violations. However, the Departments of Justice (DOJ) and Education (ED) are the two most active. Investigations, finding determinations, and oversight of remediation efforts are conducted by the various departments’ Offices of Civil Rights (OCR).
C. If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, please send an email to the Department of Justice at: EEOBOXJMD@usdoj.gov or Department of Education at: OCRWebAccessTA@ed.gov.
